CUFF LINK.

Application filed December 4, 1926.

My present invention has for its object to provide a cutf link of novel construction enabling it to be used in different ways and providing special facilities for the ornamentation of certain parts of the cuff link. For this purpose. I make the cult link with an auxiliary member mounted loosely, so as to be movable longitudinally, on the connecting member which extends from one of the end members or heads of the cufl" link to the other.

Two typical and satisfactory embodiments of this invention are illustrated by the accompanying drawings. in which Fig. l is a side view of one form of my improved cutf link: Fig. is an end view thereof; Figs. 3 and 4 are views corresponding to Figs. 1 and 2 respectively and showing another form of the invention. and Fig. 5 is an end view of link shown in Figs. 1 and 2. looking in the direction opposite to Fig. :3.

in Figs. 1. 2 and 5 the end men'iberu or heads A B of the end link are shown as representing, res 'iectively. a baseball and a baseball bat, and the connecting member consists of a chain. ()n this connecting member is mounted loosely the dllXlllfil' -J member I). here representing a baseball diamond. The central aperture 6! of the auxiliary member enables it to be moved freely lengthwise of the connecting member (7 and also to be turned about the longitudinal axis of said connecting member. Preferably the parts are properly proportioned to prevent their separation. for which purpose the head A is shown made of such a diameter that it cannot. pass through the aperture (1. As to the head B and the con nccting member or chain C, their relative dimensions and arran ement. are such as to make it impossible to pass the member I) over such head ii. in the spec fic embodiment illustrated. the head B is soldered tothe corresponding end link of the chain C. so as to be rigid therewith. and the greatest dimension (diagonal a) of the aperture d is smaller than the dimension 2') indicated in Fig. 1. this dimension being equal to the length of said end link plus the thickness of the head B at the connecting point. Of course, the member D is placed on the connecting member C before the final connections are made in assembling the parts of the improved cutl link.

In the construction illustrated by Figs.

and 4. the auxiliary member D is given the shape of an ormunentcd wheel or circlet. and the l ape of the heads A. B and of the connecting member C is somewhat different from that of the parts A. It. C. but the general arrangement and the advantages are the same as in the form of my invention iil. titRClllJtWl.

The auxiliary member I) or I) in "reases the ornamental appearance of the article. Having this member loose (instead 0t. for instance. soldering it to one of the heads) enables m to decorate this member with name! or other substances which would be damaged if exposed to a soldering heat. 'lbc mobility of the auxiliary member I) or I) lengthwise ot' the conn cting member or enables me to rearrange the parts so as to obtain various ctl'ccts. For instance. as shown in Fig. l. the member I) will gen orally be placed next to the ball head A. but it another otl'cct is desired. this member might be shittrd to lie closc to the other head ii. that is to say. to the position indicated by the dotted line i. In either of the above mentioncd positions the member l') or I). in addition to the var .'ing ornamental cllccts produced thereby. constitutes a utt n-hole cguard which prevents the end members from exerting tearing strains upon the lnitton-holcs of the cutl's and iron) being 'unintcntionally drawn through such buttonholcs in cases wh re such cud members are shaped to make this possible. Still another ])(i. ;-:iirllit is ati'ordcd by placing the auxiliary nn-nilwr up:-n'oximately centrally. as indicated at ll in Fig. l. in which casc said member will come between tlic two parts X. Y oi the ult and become practically invisible. My invention therefor:- provides a cult link convertible into a plurality of dill'crcnt shapes or app arances. and. in the embodiments shown. gives the purchaser the advantage of really owning three ditlr-rcnt looking cutl links in one article.

Various modifications may be made with out departing from the nature oi my invention as set forth in the appended claim.

T claim:

A cull link comprising two end members of predetermined ornamental shape. a connecting member extending between and seoured to said end members. and an auxiliary metallic member of predetermined. form loosely mounted on said connecting member and freely movable thereon between said cuff, said auxiliary member being further end members into engagement with either of movable to an intermediate position between them to form therewith an ornamental end said end members so as to occupy a hidden 10 member visible upon the outside of the cuff position on the cuff.

5 and to constitute a button hole guard for In testimony whereof I have hereunto set preventing the end member from exerting my hand. tearing strains upon the button hole of the JUSEF PEJUHAR.
